Sriram Krishnan will leave his role as White House AI advisor at the end of June to launch an AI company.

The departure of a top policy mind to entrepreneurship highlights the ongoing gravitational pull of founder economics over government service. Krishnan, a former a16z partner, had been advising on the US AI regulatory framework.

This move echoes a broader talent pattern where policy architects trade civil influence for startup equity. It also underscores the challenge of retaining AI expertise in government as the private-sector pull intensifies.
